The first part of the book deals with marriage and divorce in Roman and Germanic law. Other parts consider marriage and divorce in ecclesiastical law, the Latin Fathers' distinction between the divine and human laws of marriage, and with the customary stages by which persons became married. Several chapters are devoted to Augustine's views on marriage and sexuality. The authors show how the doctrine of indissolubity became the West's chief means of Christianizing marriage, and how theologians found here their preferred arguments for affirming the holiness and the "sacramentality" of marriage. The author argues that the Western regime of indissolubility was the product of a fourth century reform movement.
